After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Xu Bo'an picked up his phone and saw that the caller was Zhang Jimin. The two hadn't been in contact for a while. Xu Bo'an answered the phone and heard Zhang Jimin's voice on the other end: "Young friend Bo'an, are you busy right now?"

Xu Bo'an had been thinking of buying a car later, but buying a car wasn't urgent or a big deal, so he said to Zhang Jimin, "Dr. Zhang, I don't have anything important to say. Did you call me because you need something?"

Zhang Jimin on the other end of the phone said, "Yes, I have an autistic child here today. He looks so pitiful, but I'm at a loss. I was hoping you could come and take a look and see if there's any solution."

Children with autism are indeed quite common in our lives. However, as we all know, it is impossible for children with this type of autism to be cured. Therefore, even children from wealthy families can only recover slowly if they have autism. It is impossible for them to be completely cured.

Upon hearing Zhang Jimin's words, Xu Bo'an immediately searched his memory and discovered that there were descriptions of this disease hundreds of years ago, only the names were different from our modern ones. In the past, autism was called "dementia" or "stone doll".

Because children with these symptoms often exhibit delayed language development, more rigid movements than normal people, lower perceptual abilities, emotional instability, and lower intelligence, they were called "dull babies" or "stone babies" by the ancients, which is a simple name based on their specific symptoms.

Although the Zhang family's ancestral medical books contain descriptions of the condition and specific treatments, they only describe the simplest and most basic physical therapies, which cannot eliminate the root cause of the disease. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many children with autism in our lives.

Xu Bo'an said to Zhang Jimin on the phone, "Autism is an incurable disease in our society today. Even if I went, it probably wouldn't make much of a difference!"

Zhang Jimin said, "So you have experience treating children with autism before?"

Xu Bo'an said, "No, that's not the case!"

Zhang Jimin said, "Since you haven't treated anyone before, how can you make a hasty conclusion? Although I know that autism cannot be completely cured, you can come and give it a try. After all, your medical skills are superior to mine. Who knows, you might have some inspiration after you come and examine me?"

If it ultimately proves incurable, that's normal; after all, it's a global challenge. But if it even has some effect, wouldn't that bring hope to people with autism and their families? If you're not busy, come and take a look!

Xu Bo'an found Zhang Jimin's analysis to be correct. Since he didn't have anything important to do at the moment, it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look. So he said to Zhang Jimin, who was conveying this message, "Okay, I'll be there right away!"

When Zhang Jimin heard that Xu Bo'an was coming, he was very happy and said to Xu Bo'an, "Okay, Bo'an, I'll be waiting for you!"

After the two hung up the phone, Xu Bo'an got dressed and went out. This time, having learned his lesson, Xu Bo'an no longer waited for a taxi at the villa entrance, but instead planned to walk directly to the road next to Wanda Plaza to hail a taxi, which would be more convenient and faster!
Just as Xu Bo'an was about to walk out of the villa's gate, a horn suddenly blared behind him. A luxury car then pulled up beside him, and Zhao Yuntao's face appeared in front of him.

Zhao Yuntao looked at Xu Bo'an and said with a smile, "Brother, are you exercising by walking so early in the morning?"

Xu Bo'an said, "What's with all the exercise? I have something to do and need to go out!" Zhao Yuntao said, "Then why aren't you driving?"

Xu Bo'an said, "My car got scratched and I took it to the 4S shop for repairs! I was just about to hail a taxi!"

Zhao Yuntao said, "Why take a taxi? Get in my car, I'll give you a ride!"

Xu Bo'an said, "You're going to work, right? We're not going that way! Don't waste your time, I can easily take a taxi!"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Zhao Yuntao hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said to Xu Bo'an, "Brother, you're too good to me! I lost the bet last time, and not only did you not make me be your male nanny as agreed, but you're still thinking of me like this. As your brother, I'm so touched!"

It would have been better if Zhao Yuntao hadn't brought it up, but now that he had, Xu Bo'an remembered it. He looked at Zhao Yuntao, smiled, and said, "Brother, your reminder came at just the right time. Take me to Dongjiang Second Hospital!"

Zhao Yuntao was dumbfounded after hearing Xu Bo'an's words. He realized that Xu Bo'an hadn't asked him to fulfill the bet these past few days not because Xu Bo'an was thinking of him, but because Xu Bo'an had simply forgotten about it. It seemed that he had really been presumptuous. Zhao Yuntao slapped his mouth in regret, expressing his deep remorse.

By this time, Xu Bo'an had already gotten into Zhao Yuntao's car with a clear conscience. Seeing Zhao Yuntao slap his own mouth, Xu Bo'an, while fastening his seatbelt, teased Zhao Yuntao, "Brother, that's your own mouth. How could you do that?"

Zhao Yuntao looked at Xu Bo'an and said somewhat aggrievedly, "Brother, if I hadn't brought this up today, would you have forgotten about it?"

Xu Bo'an said, "Yes, didn't you notice I haven't called you these past two days? But it's alright, it's not too late to remember now!"

Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Zhao Yuntao felt even more remorseful. He slapped the steering wheel and said regretfully, "How could I be so talkative! I thought you were thinking of me, that it wasn't appropriate for a grown man like me to be a free babysitter, that it would damage my image, and that you didn't call me to save face. It turns out you forgot about that! I'm so naive and thought too highly of you!"

Just then, a car horn sounded from behind, and Xu Bo'an said to Zhao Yuntao, "You're blocking the road, hurry up and drive your car!"

Hearing the honking of car horns behind him, Zhao Yuntao started his car and drove towards Dongjiang Second Hospital as instructed by Xu Bo'an.

On the bus, Zhao Yuntao couldn't help but sigh, "People can be so wicked! I'll never think the best of people again! It's all my fault for being so quick-witted!"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Xu Bo'an said slowly, "You're right, kid, you've got a sharp tongue, but that's not the root of the problem. Who told you to make that bet with me so confidently? Since you made the bet, you have to honor it!" (End of Chapter)
